Adult braces

Traditional braces consist of several elements that work together to gradually move the teeth into their ideal position. Here are the main components:

• Orthodontic brackets
  Brackets are small metal pieces bonded to the surface of the teeth using a specialized dental adhesive. They act as the main support to hold the archwire and guide tooth movement.
• Archwire
  The archwire is a metal wire inserted into the brackets. It applies continuous pressure that gradually moves the teeth. The orthodontist adjusts this wire at each appointment to ensure the treatment progresses properly.
• Elastics
  Orthodontic elastics may be added to apply additional, targeted forces. They are especially useful for correcting malocclusions by acting on the relationship between the two jaws.
• Durability
  The materials used, such as stainless steel, ensure high strength and optimal performance throughout the treatment. This robustness contributes to the well-known reliability of traditional braces.
